REGION: Fallbrook man arrested in Vista burglary

A Fallbrook man was behind bars Monday in lieu of $100,000 bail,
following his arrest on suspicion of burglarizing a Vista home two
days before Christmas, a San Diego County sheriff's sergeant
said.

Gregory Dove, 35, was arrested last week for allegedly busting
through the sliding glass back door of a home on Bel Air Drive West
in Vista, then swiping items, including a safe containing about
$100,000 in foreign currency, Sgt. Tom Ness said in a prepared
statement.

The safe eventually turned up in Fallbrook, Ness said. And in late
January, Dove was stopped for a suspected traffic violation. In the
car, authorities found items from the burglarized home in the car,
Ness said.

The sergeant said more evidence from the burglary was found at
Dove's home, and Dove later admitted to the theft.

A second suspect was arrested but released, Ness said, and the
investigation is continuing.

Aside from charges related to the burglary, Dove was also arrested
on suspicion of criminal conspiracy and drug related charges.
